Trash hazardous waste

Los Angeles County residents can dispose of household hazardous waste at the next free Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Roundup from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sun., June 4 at the Calabasas Landfill, 5300 Lost Hills Road.

Household hazardous waste includes antifreeze, car batteries, used motor oil, paint, pesticides, household batteries, fluorescent light bulbs and electronic waste such as TVs and monitors, computers, VCRs, stereos and cellphones.

Residents may bring up to 15 gallons or 125 pounds of household hazardous waste per vehicle to the Roundup.

Since the first hazardous waste roundup in 1988, residents have dropped off more

than 3.7 million gallons of paint, 880,000 gallons of used motor oil, 154 tons of dry-cell batteries, 61 tons of used oil filters and thousands of pounds of other miscellaneous items.

More than 80 percent of the household hazardous waste and 100 percent of the electronic waste collected by the program is recycled.

The program is offered by the county of Los Angeles and presented by the Department of Public Works and the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County in cooperation with the community of Agoura and the neighboring cities of Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Los Angeles, Malibu and Westlake Village.
